Evaluating Hub Structures in Hidden Markov Graphical Models
摘要
This work presents a new model that extends the hubs weighted graphical lasso to dynamic settings by combining it with a Hidden Markov framework. The method is designed to track changes in the network structure over time, especially when hub nodes are present. A penalized EM algorithm is used for estimation, and simulations suggest notable improvements over other HMM-based approaches. Future work will explore how the model behaves when the number of states is overestimated.
